Vacation
Gather your gang and go on a trip that you have been planning to, for years. Threaten to burn down their houses if they refuse to accompany you. If even that doesn’t convince them, then pack your bags and make the trip by yourself. Do not wait for others to participate in your happiness. Be independent and crazy enough to go on your dream vacation. It could turn out to be everything that you ever felt to be missing out in your life.

Volunteer
Sometimes you might turn up feeling useless and drained being unsure about what is the real purpose and motive of your living. In moments of such existential crisis, you should sign up for volunteering. It could be in some NGO or even at some charity function. Make yourself useful. Life isn’t always about thinking for yourself. Once you start helping others you would see how precious is it to make others smile. Doing so would also make you take an interest in the happenings of other’s life. Unconsciously your own life would be getting enriched with a complete plethora of experiences.
Go ahead and live a life that impassions you.
